Co-Sign on the boiling water. My shit had a folder with an X through it...I threw some water in the pot, boiled it, dropped it in when it started bubbling, and voila ! My iPod came back on, and the weird thing is, I had all this music that I didn't have on there before. Actually, it was music that I wanted for years, but could never find. Also, there was porn on it after the boil...lots of it !
